It's funny how fast things change when you have kids. The house is suddenly crowded, sleep loss, no "me" time, and the topic of conversation has changed to be all about them whomever you talk to....especially with the grandparents.
Me, "Hi Mom-what are you doing? Mom, "Not much-How's Kit?"
See? You too?
It's been all about her and now it will be all about the new baby + Kit.
I realize now that Kit is one of the luckiest kids on the planet to have such loving, thoughtful, generous grandparents who want to spend time with her and want her to know most of all that she is one of their FAVORITE people. (How lucky she is to be loved as I was by my FAVORITE people.) I am thrilled that she gets to grow-up with them and even though parenting me may have been hard, they get to do it over with her and I don't want to get in the way of that relationship. It is theirs and theirs alone. She is our greatest gift to our parents and I am proud that we can do it all over again.
